After Xiang Nan agreed to stay in the martial arts team, the three coaches Wu Bin, Wang Jinsheng, and Li Junfeng all treated him like a darling.
Because a master is rare, and a good apprentice is even rarer. If a unique skill wants to be carried forward, it must find a good successor.
Xiang Nan, a martial arts prodigy, started practicing martial arts at the age of five, and was able to defeat a master like Wu Bin at the age of eleven. His talent is simply astonishing. Who wouldn't be willing to accept such a good apprentice who is rare in a century?
Therefore, Wu Bin, Wang Jinsheng, and Li Junfeng all took him very seriously and taught him all their best skills.
And Xiang Nan is worthy of being a martial arts wizard. He has a good memory and good coordination of his limbs, so his learning ability is very strong. A routine can be remembered after just reading it once. You can get started after practicing it twice.
Just like Huang Rong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", you can master any martial arts after learning it once, and you can master it after learning it twice.
Such talent amazed all three coaches. In less than half a year, Xiang Nan had mastered all the routines the three coaches knew.
Bajiquan, Bagua Zhang, Tongjiquan, Mantis Fist, Piguaquan, as well as one-handed sword, two-handed sword, one-handed knife, two-handed knife, nunchaku, nine-section whip and other instruments were learned one after another.
In January 1970, Yanjing held a national martial arts competition.
As the true chief disciple of Shichahai Sports School, Xiang Nan naturally signed up for the competition and signed up for a total of eight competitions. They are boxing, swordsmanship, knife skills, stick skills, spear skills, optional boxing skills, optional swordsmanship, and sparring events.
…
"Old Wu, is it possible for your disciple to register for eight events at once?" Other sports schools couldn't help but be surprised when they saw Xiang Nan registering for so many events.
"We'll see. My apprentice, despite his young age, is a prodigy in martial arts. I dare say that no one in China can compare with him." Wu Bin said with a smile.
"That's a big statement, isn't it? Is your apprentice that good?" Many coaches disagreed with his crazy words.
There are 700 million people in China, but no one can compare with his apprentice. This is really a big statement.
"If you don't believe me, just wait and see." Wu Bin said with a smile, having full confidence in Xiang Nan.
Because not only is he highly talented, but he also trains very hard. It's really like practicing in the winter, practicing in the summer, rain or shine, and mastering all kinds of routines incisively and vividly. To be honest, he is just better than these coaches.
What's more, Xiang Nan still has real skills. That punch was enough to crack the monument and crack the stone. This trick alone cannot be matched by others.
…
On January 15th, the national martial arts competition officially kicked off in Yanjing.
The first day of competition was all about boxing routines. The rules of the competition are actually the same as those of rhythmic gymnastics. Whoever performs the same set of martial arts moves most beautifully will be the champion.
When Xiang Nan was twelve years old, he began to develop for the second time.
Because he has been practicing martial arts all year round, plus practicing internal skills, and harmonizing the five internal organs, his physical development is much better than that of ordinary children. Only twelve years old, he is already 1.65 meters tall, with a slender body and more stretched limbs.
Moreover, after successfully practicing martial arts, their energy and spirit are far stronger than those of ordinary children. In particular, his two eyes are jet black and shiny, and he looks smart at first glance, so his impression score is good.
He is well versed in all the routines, and every move is accurate. In addition, Xiang Nan is also considered a master, and his understanding of martial arts is far beyond that of his peers, and even much better than those coaches.
Therefore, even if it is a flowery fist and embroidered leg, when he comes, it will be like flowing clouds and flowing water, completely natural. Therefore, all the judges could find no faults, gave the highest score, and easily won the championship.
In the ensuing swordsmanship, swordsmanship, stick skills, and spear skills competitions, Xiang Nan also passed all the competitions and won the championship trophy.
This also surprised other players and coaches.
…
"Old Wu, how many years have you been hiding as a disciple? What a good guy, if you don't make a sound, you will be a blockbuster." Other coaches asked curiously.
"Let me tell you, this apprentice of mine has only been studying martial arts for half a year." Wu Bin said with a smile.
"Impossible, impossible. If you can master a routine in half a year, you are already considered smart." When the other coaches heard this, they waved their hands and said, "No matter how genius you are, you will not master boxing and sword skills after practicing martial arts for half a year. , swordsmanship, stick skills, spear skills, you think your apprentice is Zhang Sanfeng."
Zhang Sanfeng is the master of Neijiaquan. He is the founder of Tai Chi, Xingyi Quan, Baguazhang and many other martial arts.
"I'm not telling lies. If you don't believe there are files, go check it out yourself." Wu Bin said with a smile, "If my apprentice were to be placed in ancient times, he would probably be no better than Zhang Sanfeng."
"Talk big words again." When everyone heard this, they all laughed.
…
After winning the championship of the designated routine, it was time to choose the boxing technique of your choice.
Optional boxing allows players to choose the boxing performance they are best at. This is like floor exercise, which tests the players' true ability.
Xiang Nan performed Tai Chi, which he was best at. Before the competition, he asked Wu Bin to place a bluestone on the court.
This move confused everyone.
"Old Wu, why are you setting up a bluestone slab?" Everyone asked in confusion.
"Just wait and see the good show." Wu Bin smiled.
Immediately, Xiang Nan was seen covering up Tai Chi. As soon as his Tai Chi skills were revealed, everyone present was dazzled.
Tai Chi is the most widely spread boxing technique. Most people can put on a few semblance of airs, such as white crane spreading its wings, wild horse parting its mane, holding sparrow's tail, etc. Therefore, it is not easy to excel in it.
Just like boiling cabbage, every household can do it. If you want to stand out, your taste must be much stronger than others in order to convince everyone. And this is undoubtedly rare.
However, as soon as Xiang Nan performed Tai Chi, everyone felt that he must be the champion. Because Xiang Nan's Tai Chi was so beautiful, moving like running water, and the essence was natural. It felt so comfortable, and everyone here couldn't stop nodding.
Especially those warriors who practiced Tai Chi were even more amazed. They never expected that Xiang Nan was so young but had such profound attainments in Tai Chi.
Judging from his movements, expression, and energy, it is obvious that he has gained the samadhi of Tai Chi, which is really powerful.
At this moment, Xiang Nan struck the bluestone with a Vajra pestle strike. There was an explosion, and the bluestone slab, which was about an inch thick, was smashed to pieces.
"Ouch~" Seeing this scene, the audience at the scene, the referee on the referee's bench, the players and coaches on the sidelines all screamed in shock.
Xiang Nan immediately ended his performance and exited the arena.
Afterwards, everyone rushed into the playing field together regardless of the rules of the game.
To them, it was simply unbelievable that the flesh palm was broken into stone slabs.
On the contrary, there are some people who are performing tricks like this in the martial arts world. They soaked the stone slabs in vinegar beforehand, and then burned them over a large fire. It is not obvious on the surface, but the stone is actually rotten and will break into pieces with a gentle tap, in order to deceive people.
So they had to confirm whether there was anything fishy about the slate.
